Abstract
In Chapter 2 I discussed the ontological backgrounds that are constitutive for du Trieu’s interpretation of connotative terms. In this chapter I intend to show, among other things, that the treatment of connotative and non-connotative terms in A System of Logic deviates from that of du Trieu and others precisely because the ontological square is no longer acceptable to a thinker like Mill. For Mill’s classification of names is based on an opposition of substance (thing-2) and attribute (thing-3).
